‘The Bureau’ Is The ‘XCOM’ Shooter Reborn… Again

Today the leak regarding the XCOM shooter’s transition to The Bureau was confirmed, although the game will still sling the XCOM name as a byline. The game’s ultra-secretive development comes to light, putting you in charge of an ultra-secretive development within the government responsible for taking out strange alien threats. Also, there’s a new trailer!

Due out August 20th, The Bureau apparently hinges on secrecy, rather than saving the world, as it explains the definity of the XCOM project. The game will be a fast-paced third-person shooter in which bringing up that abilities flywheel won’t pause the game, so you’ll need to be on top of things. What happened in 1962? We hope to get a glimpse at E3 ahead of its release on August 20th.
